Wheat rava kozhukattai or godhumai rava upma kozhukattai is made similar to regular upma kozhukattai, can be made for breakfast or dinner.

I found a reason to post this as it is Vinayagar chaturthi tomorrow. This is diabetic friendly kozhukattai. As I posted all sweet versions, thought of making this one for a change.
For regular rice upma kozhukattai, we add some dal, either toor dal or moong dal, but this one just really simple with the dal only used in tempering.
Usually you would have made godhumai rava upma, do try this simple variety kozhukattai. I have used little coconut for extra flavor.

- Giving it a run in mixer helps for easy binding of the kozhukattai.
